Trip report Aug 14-21 2005
Yea! Yea! Yea! Better late than never on the trip report (DIF therapy.) Our second trip to Hedo III did not start out as we had planned. After an unexplained (to date AJ has not responded to our inquiry) 8 hour delay in Orlando we arrived at Mobay at midnight. Along with one other virgin couple (Joe & Kerri) we hopped the bus and arrived home at 1:30 am. The front desk tried to put us in the 800 building but when we showed our reservation confirmation we were promptly escorted to the 500 building where we dropped our bags and proceeded post haste to the midnight buffet (we were starving). Air Jamaica’s solution to the delay was no meal vouchers and our dinner consisted of 2 oreo cookies and ½ a glass of champagne. YUM YUM!!
After gorging ourselves along with our new found friends, we proceeded to the nude pool and Jacuzzi to wind down the day. You could tell Joe & Kerri were somewhat nervous but once we started shedding clothes there was no stopping this couple, they were virgins no more.
After crashing for a few hours we got up and started hunting down all the couples we had met on the Hedo Group website that Angie had created. We can’t thank her enough for having started this site. We grew to about 80 members over a 6 month period. It was like meeting up with old friends instead of meeting new people. The picture gallery helped in placing faces with names. Needless to say the rest of the week was a blur. I had called Kevin and David a week in advance and set up a Meet & Greet on top of the Scotch Bonnet, where we got to meet everyone, take group photos and partake in real Jeagermeister courtesy of Martin & Beatrice, along with Rumplemintz courtesy of Chris & Angie along with the Limoncello we brought along.
Most of the time was spent between the quad pool and the nude pool with a lot of woo-woo’s and getting to know our friends a lot more. We had couples from Europe, Canada and all over the US. This made for a well rounded diverse group. We had fun invading the prude side for slide runs. Our 2nd or 3rd night there while visiting with Oh Shit, I happened to look out the window and the slide was running, so I proceeded to strip butt nekkid and left for the slide. The look on Oh Shits face was memorable, but looking at the 2 couples behind us you could of sworn I had committed murder. They were a couple of young couples who bitched about everything.
There were a couple of memorable events. On Tues I believe while most of us were relaxing in the quad hot tub late that night we were visited by “Mr. Buttplug”, yes some guy came up to the hot tub and while proceeding to sit on the side of the tub he LOST his PLUG. This guy sat there for quite some time saying nothing, just “observing” and slowly sliding toward one of the women in our group. Needless to say he was the topic of discussion after he did leave. Then about Wed or Thur when by 5pm the EC’s hadn’t called for a run on the prude side, our group decided to do it on our own. With our fearless leaders Chaquita & Pez (I think), off we went only to discover the water for the slide was not on. Our leaders confronted the frontdesk to the shock of many people and with no luck headed to the main bar where Pez proceed to hop up on the bar au natural and place an order. Needless to say we were chastised for our charade and relegated to the glass hot tub. There we proceeded to get our asses chewed out for having too many people in the hot tub. Never knew there was a limit of 6 people (still looking for that sign).
Overall the only down side there was to the entire week was a group that was in called “Psytopia”. These people were nasty, they smelled and smoked their pot wherever they felt like with complete disregard for other people. No one else smokes in the disco, but I guess they were “Special”. The food was what we have been use too (nothing spectacular). On the night that we ate at Munasan, Margaret was contemplating eating/not eating her last piece of sushi. Thank goodness she didn’t want it because before she made up her mind it was gone. And then we waited 10 minutes for the next course. What was the hurry? Service at Pastifari was okay, although you have to expect some delays with a group of 16 at one table. By our last day, it took till about 8 pm for me to get a Jim Beam and coke. I guess I drank them out of Beam and Daniels (that’s a first).
I have seen a lot of complaints on Denny’s site about mold, locals, hookers and such, but none of that happened while we were there. Although we did have one weirdo. He got a little close at the nude bar and then he actually touched one of the ladies on the back. He came really close to getting hit. A talk with security and we never saw him again. The resort was about 60% full during our stay. Will we go back absolutely as long as it is with the “THE HEDO CANDYSTORE CREW.” We will never forget Jeff’s wit and Renee putting up with it. Pete & Tia for their British humor, Brian & Betty (our new best friends), Emilio & Erica talk about a sense of humor, Chris & “Juggs”, Diane & Larry, Michael & Laura, Bea & Martin, Thanks for the Jeagermeister, Chuck & Richelle, for the new group website, Mike & Tammy, Chris & Tonya and the rest of the gang. We look forward to future get togethers. Miss everyone, seems like a lifetime since we last saw each other.
Finally, Joe (father Nelson) form New York if you read this, email us.
